Are these fans made of metal or plastic? I thought I saw screws on the side which would imply a sturdier metal frame which is what I desire.

They are made of metal. I have ordered more than 50 of them for my office and they have served our needs well.

They are medal throughout--fan blades, cage, and stand. Mine goes all the time that my computer is on. Very quiet. No problems.

The Fans are Made of Metal and Blades are Metal as well there are 4 Blades and Yes there are Screws in the Frame of the Fan and it is very well built Fan with a Metal Stand for good Support to keep the fan in the Same Place and Rubber stoper to keep the Fan from sliping or Slideing off the shilf.

The fans and the frame are metal as well. Actually, this is the main reason I ordered them.

As far as I can tell, they are plywood. They have a wood veneer (on one side) that's probably been attached with some sort of resin. The blades are hard & stiff, not like "just" plywood - so I'm figuring some resin or glue was used to wet the wood when it was put in a press to set the twist in the blade. No matter what they used to make the fan - they don't "look" like plastic (which is what I think you're worried about?)

Yes it is little metal polls with plastic brackets . We love ours very sturdy just make sure you have all the pieces. We were missing a bag. They mailed them out quickly to us. Hope this helps.

They are metal. Be aware, however, they are not easy to install. If you can't solder or weld find someone that will install them for you before purchasing.

they are plastic but I think it might still work... I have had this bike for my grandson for a while now and its very sturdy

They are all plastic but very solid plastic. I installed them months ago and still holding strong.

The frame is made of metal, and the shelves are made of laminated particle board. I've had the shelves for a while and they are quite sturdy and attractive. Hope that helps!

I have not had the fan professionally installed yet but it was very disappointing. I thought it was a metal of somekindbut TV the blades LOOK plastic to me.

The fan is made of cloth that is fairly stiff, not flimsy like silk. Fabric laced edges. The ribs are plastic. Nicely decorated. I use them very often (daily) and haven't had any of them rip or otherwise fall apart. I'm happy with both the bulk price I got for a dozen and with the fans themselves.

The screws are metal.I wouldn't know get the metal mesh because it's not as stylish as this one is. The metal mesh is too tacky.Look at the pictures I have posted.

The fan is metal, well constructed, with a very study plastic base. It is adjustable in height, mine's set to 52" but I think it goes as high as 60"? 67 watt. Works great, but a little louder than I would like, especially on high. I have it on a screened in porch and it does a nice job of cooling with a really unusual oscillating motion.

My fans came with chrome screws for attaching to the case. They were cheap screws though. I recommend using the screws that came with the case.

I don't touch mine and they work fine. They've been up for several years now. This is the reason I purchased these higher priced fans. The blades are plastic but don't look like it and the fan is made to stand up to the weather. Mine go through rain, snow, and extreme heat.

I agree with Joe T., with one exception. I do not think the two little hinges on the inside are made of metal. They appear to me to be made of a very sturdy plastic as well.

Metal. They are very sturdy but mine only lasted about 6 months before it completely stopped working.
